The original “Gundam” created by Japanese studio Sunrise and Yoshiyuki Tomino was first launched in 1979 as anime series, “Mobile Gundam Suit”. It had since spurred multiple TV series, novels, manga, video games, plastic models and toys. It had also made a cameo in Steven Spielberg’s previous movie, “Ready Player One”.
While the plot of the upcoming movie is still under wraps, the original franchise revolves around an era in which human beings emigrate to space colonies only to launch a war of independence using mobile suits against the people living on earth.
